[QUOTE="PREDATORMAN, post: 1909444, member: 30023"] Reading all these posts was way interesting to see how different and yet very much the same that we Humans are. Also to see how many LEs are on this forum. I’m a retired WY LEO (pushing the 70 yoa mark) who was and Still am a firearms instructor for most all of my 40 year LE career. ( I live in AZ now but miss WY so much.). I’ve seen a lot or cross dominance situations during those years. I’m right handed and right eye dominant myself. Although for the last decade or so, after having eye surgery, I’ve had a few Eye change ups of my own. Cross dominance issues due to changes in target distance with open sighted handguns. I fathered 2 boys who are both left handed but pretty much ambi for the most part. They started shooting very young. Their Dominant sides and sight problems started early on. By teaching them both proper grip, stance and form techniques for both right and left sides using right and left equipment they found their own Best way. My youngest shoots almost exclusively left and my oldest shoots rifle snd shotgun left and handgun right. They are both outstanding shooters using either side. I’m jealous! Especially now that firearms training has put more emphasis on being able to perform using both sides for tactical reasons. So I guess to round up the point I want to make.... teach learn and train it all from both sides. Mirrored Form and technique are what really counts for the most part. [/QUOTE]
